Umbellifer flower visited by a hoverfly

Umbellifer flower visited by a hoverfly

This hoverfly was so busy gathering nectar from the umbellifers in Barley Field that it let me get really close. Some grains of pollen are sticking to its body, and my reflection can just about be made out in its eye.
